Sucks to lose a terran but I never really cared about him.
Somebody linked this tweet on a previous page and I remembered that dickish aura he carried around with him back when I was following the game more.

Terran.

He wrote at me like a dick, I responded in the exact same manner + I don't know him and his opinion was completely irrelevant to me, only a saint would have answered in any other way. Other progamers don't answer this kind of stuff but it can piss you off when random people just come and make statements about stuff they know nothing about. And that's also what I expressed at the end of my blog. It's fine though, doing this you learn the haters are just more vocal, and you either pull a completely politically correct persona or you ignore them. The other option is not giving a fuck, but that's not as easy to market right now, and that's why most progamers choose the other two options.

Sounds like this guy had his share of haters. I started reading some of the post and I think he was coming from the same place as most of us (nerd uses game as form of escape)

IDK who he is but people posting troll rage twitter comments about him doesn't seem like u can blame the guy too much..

Its never good to see a player leave the scene, althought he didnt get much in regards to placement in premier tournys he was still a somewhat solid terran and streamer.

Its a shame you didn't want to give HOTS a shot with Terran. With Widow mines, Ravens and Ferarri-vacs your good mechanics would have shone through and perhaps you could've exceeded your WoL results.

Always enjoyed you at HSC - especially those casts with Fuzer.
I wish you luck with whatever you plan on doing post-esports. Hopefully we get to see you doing a cameo appearance on the ladder sometime.

To all the people who get rubbed the wrong way by some tweets: grow a spine! Cloud isn't afraid to speak his mind, for better or for worse. A large portion of the Starcraft community can be such politically correct bleeding hearts.. I respect a person who can say a controversial statement in the public eye. Its the people who denounce it purely on the grounds that they disagee that piss me off.

Dude have you saw MLG? Widow Mines are a joke.


Besides like Cloud himself said:

For someone like me who likes the competition and the challenge Starcraft2 was not really the right game. It's a way easier game than Starcraft, attaining progamer skills didn't take a third of the effort as it used to take before and the luck factor was a huge thing to consider. Honestly to me, used to such a competitive game as Starcraft, it felt more like playing poker rather than a real time strategy game.


All it takes is 1 storm man, 1 storm and you lose.

They didnt fixed mech so its going to be another year of MMM.

You cant blame him for trying Protoss and/or leaving.

This is for the best. I have seen many times about how he doesn't like SC2 and doesn't think it's a good game but he played it for his own reasons. I was wondering back then how could you force yourself to do that? The difference in his play and the player who play with passion and enjoy the game such as Life show through their game. I don't need to say which is more fun to watch.

I feel the same way. As Steve Jobs said here, you have to love what you do to do a great job. Yet I can say I really tried my best to like SC2 and this experience gave me a lot, so I am happy I did it even though I was very doubtful about SC2 from the beginning.

It's not true, whether or not Jobs said it. You do not have to love what you do to do a great job. I went to school with plenty of people who did not like school a tremendous amount but were among the best students in the nation, and I now work with professionals who are the very best in their respective fields, and very, very few of them loves what he or she does. You can be better than just about everyone simply by having and cultivating an outstanding work ethic and discipline, assuming you're at least moderately talented. Do you think all of the KESPA players who are dedicating 12 hours a day to SCII love SCII? That's preposterous. I'm sure plenty of foreign players love SCII and would still be destroyed by the current KESPA b-team (which is in fact what happened when MLG ran the MVP invitational or whatever it was called). The hardworking professional player will almost always beat the passionate (but comparatively lazy) player. In every sport this is the way it works. SCII is no exception.

As a general matter, you will be much more successful in life if you're able to work extremely hard at even the things you don't like doing. If you're the type of person who can only work hard at something when you're "passionate" about it, good luck with that.

I note that whatever you do next it's hard to imagine it won't require a great deal more time and effort than you put into SCII and will likely be extraordinarily more dull. On the bright side, at least you'll be able to make enough money to survive on.
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

I can't say I didn't see this coming to be honest considering how ClouD's results have been unimpressive for the last few months, but it's still almost never a good thing for someone to leave the scene, especially if they're a fairly well known player like ClouD.

Cloud doesn't sound arrogant to me at all actually... why is everyone saying this?

Clearly just a very competitive guy who didn't actually like sc2 all that much... i kinda get him tbh, sc2 ain't that great and there is no other game for competitive rts players...

Damn, it's sad there's so many people who dislike you soley because you speak your mind and there's some ridiculous taboo surrounding balance on TL. It was obvious to anyone in masters or above that the game was imbalanced for a while and that Terran took disproportionate amounts of effort and skill compared to the other 2 races. HotS is working to fix that but still don't expect to see any foreign Terrans making a mark on the scene. I don't blame him for retiring, I wouldn't be slaving away at this game either if I was beginning my 20s, with tons of other opportunities available to me. GL in the future ClouD, it was always nice to have a pro come give his input on TL.
